TSF Monogatari Vol 2 English sub
Simoun Sub.DVD 2
Throughout the content presented here, the intriguing gender and religious issues raised by the series remain ever-present. The ongoing debates among the sybillae over which gender to choose (and, in some cases, how they can avoid having to choose) continue to provide a fascinating variation on common teen angst about future plans that cannot be found in any other anime series. Which way certain characters might lean on that issue subtly infuses into their behavior, rarely resulting in any surprise when one girl or another declares her preference or lack thereof. The conflict between the status of the sybillae as both priestesses and warriors also continues to be both a prominent recurring theme and a plot point, with opinions on the issue ranging the spectrum from one extreme to the other, but other issues about faith also creep in from time to time, too.
